To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SEYMOUR M. HER- MANN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of New York, county and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Compounds for Treatin Fabrics, of which the following is a full, c ear, and exact description.

The object of the present invention is to provide a compound for treating fabrics of various kinds for the purpose 0 imparting scroop, crunch, or rustling effect, and to improve the luster and finish of the fabric.

A further object is to render the goods 5 treated also fast, and which effect will With these and other objects in view, the invention will be hereinafter more particularl described and will then be pointed out in t e claims at the end of the descri tion.

In carryin out my process the abric is first immerse in a bath ofa solution of soa of any suitable or desired nature. This a produces an improved effect if about one part in five of W is added, and also a small quantity 0 any suitable oil such as filifivuil, but the soap alone may be used an iese two compounds are not by any means necessary. This bath is brought to a temperature of about 120 Fahrenheit, and the textile or fabric is immersed in this bath until fully impregnated, and the action is facilitated by agitating the bath. The next step in the process is to add to the bath about 10% of a compound consisting substantially of the following :--50 parts of 22 to 70% solution of acti 20 parts of 10 to 50% solution 0 1 2 parts of 28 to 99% solution 0 acct 1 5 parts 0 of 10 to solution of 1 'd, 1 part of 5 to 22% solution 0 r'c acid, 5 parts of 15 to 25% solu mu 0 sa 1- i 0 lie acid. 6 parts of 15 to 25% solution of a 5 parts of w, 5 parts 5 o irbane. ThlS compound is mixed wit wa er. 15 compound is added to the aforesaid bath of soap, either soap alone, or soa mixed with the oil and silicate of soda as escribed, about one part to nine of the bath, and this mixture is stirred until the fatty acids have been separated. The fabric is allowed to remain in this bath for a suitable length of time such as about 15 minutes, after which the fabric is lifted and treated in a hydro-extractor, and thereupon Specification of Letters Patent.

fully dried. I have found that very similar results are obtained if the acetic acid, the phosphoric acid and the hydrochloric acids are omitted from my above described compound, using only the other six materials mentioned. After such treatment the fabric or textile will be found to have a scroop or crunch, and also to have a high finish and luster. This treatment also imparts a semisoftness to the material. This treatment as above set forth has an effect on the goods that is termed as fast, and such effect on the goods is what is termed in the trade as a condition that will not fly.

One of the highly beneficial and desired results of the treatment with my improved process is that gloods of a cheaper'nature suchas cotton wi have the rustle or crunchin effect produced by many kinds of silk.

aving thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent.
